Default Custom Gauges???

well im having troubles with my gauges right now with the new bulbs installed and it seems that nothings getting enough juice to light up the leds because of a bad circut board. i looked up the price on the circut boards and their about 75.00! so insted of messing with these old gauges i figured i might as well buy some cool aftermarket gauges or build my own for my restomod project. so my question is, who sells cool aftermarked gauge cluster for a 70 mustang, if you can please give me a link and or a photo.

The problem with cool after market gages...like Autometers...is they will cost you a LOT more than the factory gages.

custom gauges are way too pricey from my experience. If you want a cool look and you are gonna spend money anyways you should just do it custom, and that way it will be exactly what you want.

racin66coupe: Auto Meter offers fuel level gauges. go to autometer.com and you can click on "advanced gauge search" sort of in the top right and fuel level is one of the options.
